The Vishnu Sahasranama was introduced to mankind during the Mahabharata.. At a time when Yudhishtira was deeply hurt by the proceedings of the war, he pleaded Bheeshma Pitamaha to guide him to peace of mind. Grandsire Bheeshma imparted the sacred Vishnu Sahasranama - originally scripted by Sri Veda Vyasa Rishi (an incarnation of Vishnu himself) – to Yudhishtira as a means of gaining inner peace and strength.
